There. Are. Levels. I love when folks say "there are levels to" things. Because it's the truth; it really is. Traveling and living life is the best way to fully experience this statement. So let's talk about levels to . . . firework shows.
Approximately five years ago, upon my return to NYC to embark on my professional journey, I was fortunate enough to witness a spectacular July 4th firework display right from my rooftop, overlooking the Hudson River (the first and only time this happened while I resided in NYC). I invited a couple of friends over, and together we experienced a truly magnificent spectacle . . . beeeeyoutiiiful!
'Til this day, I've stored this video as the first photo/picture memory in my phone (which is in a perpetual state of "low memory space"). There's just something captivating about seeing glitzy lights in the sky.
Fast forward to a year ago when I went to Rudesheim, Germany for Rhine in Flames. The experience was grand. I was abroad, and there was a whole celebration centered around a firework show that traveled through Germany along the Rhine River. New Level.
So let's get back to these levels.
Lesson one: There are levels.
Lesson two: Get out, go places and experience life.
Lesson three: Sometimes, all you gotta do is say yes!
Fast forward to this month. When my gal pal in London invited me to a fireworks show for Bonfire Night, I was like yeah, I'm down. I wanted to catch up with her and thought a fireworks show would be cool but had no clue what it would be. It was the most AMAZING FIREWORKS SHOW EVER. A choreographed fireworks show . . . WHAT?! Hello London! Enjoy the show(s)!💥💥💥
See Yaa, New Levels! #LevelUp 💥🫶🏾
